If the result of this would be 2 versions MySQL (MySQL AB and NuSphere 
MySQL) than it's unclear to me how the community can benefit. Although 
diskspace is not much of an issue but I would like to install both..

Although others might have their own opinion about this.. mysql.org looks 
A-LOT-LIKE mysql.com and it looks to me (and others I've spooken with) as 
if the mysql.org site is the official MySQL website..

It's great if NuSphere or any other starts a website with addons, tools, 
etc to be used with MySQL. But please don't start to confuse people..

I don't think the current mysql.org site is what MYSQL AB had in mind. I 
really hope the MYSQL AB and NuSphere people can come to a agreement..

Bye,
